00:00An old Apache law says never ask of another that which you are not willing to give.
00:19You're asking for a life.
00:21Are you willing to give yours?
00:30No, you're unable to go.
00:43No, I'm lucky.
00:49You're not willing to give me yourself a long time.
00:52I can't believe you.
00:55Hank.

14:09driver
14:10some of the sheets off that bunk
14:12Let's go to the bunk.
14:21Pack the gold in six bags and weigh them evenly across the saddle.
14:25That'll take time.
14:26I know. I won little time.
14:29For what?
14:33For the Indian girl.
14:35Now look, you kidnapped the woman once before.
14:37Yes, but this girl's different. She's got something that makes me respect her.
14:40She does that. She sure ain't your type.
14:42Why not?
14:44What am I?
14:47A freak.
14:49She's the kind of a girl that if she gives her word, she keeps it.
14:53An Indian always keeps a promise.
14:56Well, just what is it you want her to promise you?
14:59You just keep your fat mouth shut and pack the gold.
15:02Talk to them. You talk their language.
15:04You talk to them. They understand yours better.
15:08The gold's being packed up, so it won't be much longer now.
15:12I said it won't be much longer, so if anybody would like to make a few choice last words, now's the time.
15:16Last words?
15:17You're not saying you intend to...
15:18Oh, yes. Everybody.
15:20Except her.
15:21Rats, very few men have the stomach for a full-scale massacre. Do you? Or do you have something else in mind?
15:26You're real smart.
15:27Well, that doesn't mean any killing. And you don't really want to kill her.
15:28You don't really want to kill her.
15:29Well, that doesn't mean any killing.
15:30You don't really want to kill her.
15:31You don't really want to kill her.
15:32I said it won't be much longer, so if anybody would like to make a few choice last words, now's the time.
15:35Last words? You're not saying you intend to kill her?
15:37Oh, yes. Everybody.
15:38Except her.
15:39Rats, very few men have the stomach for a full-scale massacre. Do you? Or do you have something else in mind?
15:51You're real smart.
15:52Well, that doesn't mean any killing. And you don't really want to kill us.
15:56Maybe I do and maybe I don't. But if things don't work out the way I want them to, I'm going to.
16:01What things?
16:09Ma'am, there's something I want to talk to you about.
16:12You're wasting your time.
16:13You stay out of this.
16:14Do you want the whole Apache nation after you?
16:16I ain't gonna tell you again to keep your mouth shut.
16:20Ma'am, things ain't as bad as they look. And they ain't gonna be as bad as it sounds.
16:39It's just that when I saw you tonight, when I saw your face, I knew that.
16:46What did he say your name was?
16:51It's Della.
16:53You know, you talk real pretty.
16:56If you're just interested in talking to a woman, there's another one here.
17:00Pearl!
17:01I'm sure Mrs. Grayson will be very happy to pass the time of day with you.
17:09I'm talking to Miss Della.
17:15Now, you all better listen real careful to what I have to say.
17:19Because Miss Della here is going to have to decide something.
17:23It's going to be up to her whether the rest of you people live or die.
17:28Rance, what are you proposing?
17:31Miss Della, we're going to be out in the hills hunting and fishing for 30 days.
17:36Now, after that time, if you don't like me, I'll let you go.
17:38I won't hurt you. I'll be good to you.
17:42You see, Miss Della, I respect you.
17:46You asked my man Grady if I didn't tell him that.
17:5030 days.
17:52All I want is your word that you won't run out on me.
17:56Rance, she's not going with you.
17:58If she don't, nobody's going to get out of here alive.
18:08Except Red, Grady and me. Nobody.
18:18If you think I'm bluffing, I'm going to start right now.
18:22No.
18:24I'll kill them all, slow and easy, one by one.
18:25You want to stand here and watch, I'll give you a show like you've never seen in your whole life.
18:30Starting now with him.
18:32Please give me time to think. A few minutes.
18:43Remember, Miss Della, I'm not going to hurt you.
18:46It's just that a man can go crazy hole up in a canyon at night.
18:51Stars flashing in the sky and nobody to talk to.
18:55It's just that a man can get lonely, aching lonely.
19:01They think I'm some kind of an animal, but I'm not.
19:06Please.
19:08All right.
19:10I'll give you a little time to think it over.
19:13I guess it's only fair.
19:15I guess it's only fair.
19:22Red, you keep your eye out.
19:26I'll give Grady a hand.
19:27All right.
19:39Princess.
19:42Are you cold?
19:45Yes.
19:46Well, this should keep you warm,
19:48while Rance and Grady are filling their boots with his share of the gold.
19:58Get the gun!
20:10You two, get out of here and get the horses ready.
20:13All right, get out.
20:16Come on.
20:25Well, Barnes, there's a man you leave a little bit to be desired.
20:28Keep your mouth shut.
20:32Miss Della, I want my answer now.
20:37You have no choice. We'll all be killed.
20:39Now, listen to me. I was wrong. I know that now.
20:42We're all equal in the eyes of God.
20:44Yes, yes, go with him. It'll only be for a little while.
20:46He said so. Well, you can't let us all die.
20:49I know what a sacrifice it is, my dear. I do know, but you have no choice.
20:53Della, before you make your decision, one last reminder of your days at school, one quotation from Shakespeare.
21:03What is this?
21:04Well, that's not too much to ask.
21:06Please.
21:07Keep it short.
21:09You're familiar with Romeo and Juliet?
21:13The friar's speech at the end of the play, where the friar instructs Juliet about the use of the vial she dropped.
21:21The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade to pale ashes.
21:28Thy eyes' windows fall like death.
21:33I've made my decision.
21:43What is it?
21:44You have your answer, Rance. She's dying.
21:49Well, Rance, it's too bad you're not familiar with Romeo and Juliet.
21:57The friar instructs Juliet to feign death, and by pretending to regain everything that seemed lost.
22:04Now get up.
22:14I could have let you fall, but I trusted you, and you played me for a fool.
22:20Just to set the record straight, I played the trick.
22:23How would you like to call your friends in here?
22:26I guess I have no choice.
22:34Here, please.
22:35Brad Grady, get in here.
22:44John's on the floor.
22:45Put him out there!
22:55I could have killed everybody here.
22:58But because of you, I didn't.
23:00Because I saw something in you that...
23:04He's right.
23:06He could have killed us.
23:08And he said one thing that I believe.
23:11He said he had respect for me.
23:14That's more than others had.
23:16Give him a chance to run for it.
23:18It's the only way I can thank him.
23:21Rance.
23:23Thank you, Miss Della. I'll never forget you as long as I live.
23:32There is the small matter of relieving you of the gold.
23:4435 to 93, 100.
23:47Exactly right. Thank you very much.
23:49Well, the gold's intact, and so are we.
23:53Something seems to be missing.
23:56What do you suppose it could be?
23:58There was some food in the kitchen. I made sandwiches.
24:02That's fine, Princess.
24:06No, thank you. I'm not hungry.
24:16What's missing, huh?
24:18Oh, yes.
24:20That glorious vision you had, how did it go again?
24:23We're all equal in the eyes of the Lord.
24:27It's gone.
24:30Shall we dine, Mr. Paladin?
24:32Princess, it would be a great pleasure.
24:50A gun will travel reach the card of a man.
25:04A knight without armor in a savage land.
25:09His vast gun for hire heats the calling wind.
25:12A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin.
25:26Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam?
25:30So let's open the house now, ago!
25:31Mitversi...
25:35Where do you roam...
25:41We have 100, 100 miles away.
25:43You
